Windows 10: Skype starts with boot

There is nothing in the Startup tab that relates to Skype

 

I assume you mean the Services tab of Task Manager. There is a SkypeUpdate which is stopped and there is no way to set manual

 

I'm assuming you are using Skype for desktop which puts icon in taskbar vs Win10 Skype App from Start Menu but in the screen in post 4, after you un-check "Start Skype when I start Windows", do not restart while still signed in. R-click taskbar icon, then Quit Skype, then reboot. Good Luck

 

I told him this earlier....he just doesn't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See posts #5...#7...#9 and #11.

 

In the Services tab of Task Manager .... Right on Click SypeUpdate / Open Services. Find SkypeUpdate / Right Click / Properties and check Startup Type. If Automatic change to Manual.

 

Find SkypeUpdate / Right Click / Properties and check Startup Type. If Automatic change to Manual.

Yes, that is how to change a run setting but Manual SkypeUpdate does not affect Program start. My SkypeUpdate is set to Automatic and Skype does not auto-start at boot hence it reads 'Stopped' under Task Manager Service tab.

 

Actually, I DO get it!!! You keep telling me how to stop Skype once it has started. I want to prevent Skype from even starting. I have tried everyone's suggestions and so far, no luck.

 

I got a good suggestion from Skype community and it solved the problem. I had the jv16 Macecraft tools installed and apparently, that program has its own set of startups and Skype was one of them. So that was deleted and it solved the problem. Thanks to all

 

Glad you finally sorted this out and posted your results. CCleaner does not have this problem. Please mark topic "Solved" so others can think to look at 3rd party startup software as a solution to this problem. Thanks.

 

It turns out that another program was starting Skype. The jv16 Macecraft has a startup folder as well. When I cancelled this one, it took care of the problem. Thanks for all the suggestions
